Roadmap
Strategic direction and planned features for the Sigilweaver Loom platform.
Current Status
Sigilweaver Loom v1.0 has shipped. The core platform is feature-complete for most data transformation workflows. Development now focuses on platform features, ecosystem expansion, and continued polish.
The primary, fully-supported way to use Sigilweaver Loom is the desktop app with its bundled server - no external infrastructure required. Hub and a standalone Server are entirely optional, for teams that want centralized storage, scheduling, and multi-user orchestration. Hub is currently in open beta.
What Works Today
| Component | Status | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Studio | Production-ready | All core tools, theming, keyboard shortcuts |
| Server | Production-ready | Lazy execution, caching, Python export |
| Desktop Apps | Production-ready | Bundled server, Electron and Tauri builds for all platforms |
| Docker Deployment | Production-ready | Compose templates with secret management |
| Hub (optional) | Open beta | Multi-user orchestration, RBAC, scheduling |
Near-Term Focus (Q1-Q2 2026)
Studio
| Feature | Description | Priority |
|---|---|---|
| Theme Editor | GUI for creating and modifying themes | Medium |
| Workflow Templates | Pre-built workflow patterns for common tasks | Medium |
| Tool Search | Quick-find for tools by name or function | Low |
Server
| Feature | Description | Priority |
|---|---|---|
| Additional Connectors | Native support for more databases and APIs | High |
| New Tools: Fuzzy Join | Approximate string matching for joins | Medium |
| New Tools: Network Cluster | Graph-based clustering and community detection | Medium |
| New Tools: Python | Execute arbitrary Python code in workflows | Medium |
| Streaming Preview | Incremental preview for large datasets | Medium |
Hub (optional, open beta)
| Feature | Description | Priority |
|---|---|---|
| Auditor Experience | UI for browsing the audit log and verifying its hash chain | High |
| Execution Artifacts | Store and retrieve workflow outputs from Hub | High |
| Workflow Versioning | Internal revision history with diff and rollback | High |
| GUI Configuration | Web-based server and connection management | High |
| Per-User API Tokens | Scoped tokens for automation | Medium |
| Execution Dashboard | Real-time monitoring of running workflows | Medium |
| Demo Instance | Public read-only Hub for evaluation | Medium |
Deferred to v1.x
These were previously listed as near-term but are intentionally deferred so the roadmap reflects what is actually shipping:
| Feature | Description | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| OIDC / SSO | Single sign-on via external identity providers | Scoping in progress; API tokens land first |
| Git Remote Sync | Sync Hub workflow revisions to an external Git remote | Builds on internal versioning |
| Notifications | Email and webhook alerts for execution status | Under consideration; not yet committed |
Medium-Term Focus (Q3-Q4 2026)

|---|---|
| Kubernetes Operator | Native CRDs for deploying Sigilweaver Loom at scale |
| Helm Charts | Standardized deployment templates for Kubernetes |
| ARM64 Builds | Native support for Apple Silicon and ARM servers |
Ecosystem
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| API Connectors | REST/GraphQL tool for fetching external data |
| Cloud Storage | Native S3, GCS, and Azure Blob support |
| Streaming Sources | Kafka and Redpanda connectors |
Intelligence
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| AI-Assisted Design | Natural language to workflow generation (optional, off by default, user-configured) |
| Smart Suggestions | Context-aware tool recommendations (optional, off by default, user-configured) |
| Data Quality Rules | Built-in validation and anomaly detection |
Long-Term Vision
Local-First, Cloud-Capable
Sigilweaver Loom is designed to run wherever your data lives. We will continue to prioritize on-premise and air-gapped deployment scenarios alongside cloud offerings.
Code as Truth
Every visual workflow compiles to readable, executable Python. This transparency ensures auditability and eliminates vendor lock-in.
Open Ecosystem and Licensing
The entire Sigilweaver Loom suite is free for all users under the AGPL-3.0 license. There are no paid tiers, premium features, or usage limits. The core platform will always remain open source.
How to Influence the Roadmap
- GitHub Issues: Feature requests and bug reports shape our priorities.
- Community Discussions: Participate in design discussions for major features.
- Pull Requests: Direct contributions are the fastest path to new features.
